any organic compound ending with just an OH is an alcohol. this is propylalcohol or propaneol.
note: if it ends with -COOH (where the carbon is double bonded to the first O and single bonded to the second) it is carboxylic acid

2-propanol. Or, just Propanol if you've stuck the OH group on the end. The hydrocarbon chain is 3 carbons, so the prefix is prop. There are only single bonds, so it's an alkane, and the -ol suffix is because of the OH functional group. If the OH group is in the middle, it's at position 2, so 2-propanol. Otherwise, you don't need a locant. It would also possibly be called N-Propanol.
